Rosary Quote by Sr. Lucia, Fatima Visionary

The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we

has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosarysuch an extent that there is no problem, no matter h

difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritualthe personal life of each one of us, or in our families, tcannot be solved by the Rosary.

There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficuis, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the HRosary.

Stories about the power of the Hail Mary

One night when a woman member of the Confraternity had retired, Our Lady appeared to her ansaid, My daughter, do not be afraid of me. I am your loving Mother whom you praise so faithfullyevery day. Be steadfast and persevere. I want you to know that the Ave Maria gives me so muchthat no man could ever really describe it. (Guillaume Pepin, In Rosario aureo, Sermon 47).

Listen to what Our Lady herself said to Saint Mechtilde: Never has any man composed anything

more beautiful than the Ave Maria. No greeting could be dearer to my heart than those beautiful adignified words that God the Father addressed to me himself.

This was corroborated by a vision of St. Gertrude in her revelations, Book IV, chapter XI.St. Gertrude learned that the Blessed Trinity has allowed Our Lady to be the most powerful after Gthe Father, the wisest after God the Son and the most loving after God the Holy Spirit.

"Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray that my prayers may be purified before

ascend to Your divine altar."

I unite with the entire communion of saints, with all the angels and saints in heaven, all the just on earth, and all ofsouls in purgatory.

I also unite with you, my Jesus, in order to praise your holy Mother worthily, and to praise You in her and through her.

Learning Christ

Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle,in all the events of lifein disappointments

in the thoughtlessness of othersin the insincerity of those I trustedin the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.

Let me put myself aside,to think of the happiness of othersto hide my little pains and heartaches

so that I may be the only one to suffer from them.

Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path,let me so use it that it may mellow me, not harden, nor embitter methat it may make me patient, not irritable, that it may make me broad inmy forgiveness, not narrow, haughty, and overbearing.

May no one be less good for having come within my influence, no one less pure,no one less kind, less noble for having been a fellow traveler toward Eternal life.

As I go my rounds from one distraction to another,let me whisper from time to time, a word of love to Thee.

May my life be lived in the super-natural, full of power for good, andStrong in its purpose of sanctity.

St Theresa of Avila

Christ has no body but yours.

No hands, no feet on earth, but yours.

Yours are the eyes through which He looks

With compassion on this world.Yours are the feet with which He walks

To do good.

Yours are the hands with which He blesses

All the world.

Yours are the hands.

Yours are the feet.Yours are the eyes.Yours are His Body.

Jesus told St Faustina:

Say unceasingly the Divine Mercy Chaplet that I have taught you.

Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death.

Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation.

Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he wou

receive grace from My infinite mercy.

I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy.

My daughter, encourage souls to say the Divine Mercy Chaplet which I have given to you.

It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet.

When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will

a happy one.

Write that when they say this Divine Mercy Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand

between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as a merciful Saviour.

Through the chaplet, you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My Will

He continued, "Tell (all people) ...that I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches M

with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, b

radiates them to other souls." (Diary 1074)

"The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is - trust. The more a soul tru

the more it will receive. Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to Me, because I pour all the

treasures of My graces into them." (Diary 1578)

"No soul will be justified unless it turns with confidence to My mercy..." (Diary 570)

"Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy" (Diary 300)

"I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor: the first - by deed, the second -

word, the third - by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an

unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy...ev

the strongest faith is of no avail without works." (Diary 742)

THE 7 MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE:

THE WISDOM GIFT: it provides man a type of unnatural understanding on the things of God, allowing man to savor with

indescribable delights, the things from above, not from the Earth (Col 3,1-2), giving a sense of eternity allowing him to see everything

through the eyes of God, as if by an unnatural divine instinct.

THE UNDERSTANDING GIFT: allow the faithful souls the deepest penetration in the great mysteries of faith: the Holy Trin

mystery, the redemption mystery, our incorporation to Christ, the infinite value of the mass, etc., allowing them to live them with great

intensity and perfection.

THE SCIENCE GIFT: it teaches to judge properly on all created things, seeing in them a track or vestige of God, that announc

indescribable beauty and kindness. With this gift, St. Francis of Assisi could see the brother wolf, sister flower, sister source. It is the

"science of the saints", that will always be a madness before the incredible stupidity of the world (cf. 1 Cor 3.19).

THE ADVICE GIFT: it point to the direction that we must take in each case to follow the eternal wishes of God on us. They ar

hunches, intuitive glances, whose certainty and timeliness will eventually lead to discover events.

THE MERCY GIFT: it intends to excite in the will, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, a filial affection towards God, considered

the most loving Father, and a feeling of universal brotherhood towards all men as brothers of ours and children of the same Father, who heaven. It also makes us feel a special tenderness towards the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church and our sweetest Mother.

THE STRENGTH GIFT: It shines in the forehead of martyrs and in the quiet and heroic virtues of Christian life that constitute

petty heroic acts, frequently more difficult and painful, than those of greater things.

THE FEAR GIFT: It fills the soul with a reverential respect before the infinite Majesty of God, leaving it ready to die a thousan

times before offending it by sin.

Sacred Heart of JesusAdvise and let the whole world know that I will not put limits to my graces

when these are requested on behalf of my Sacred Heart.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus to Santa Margarita Maria Alacoque.


31/60

The Lord in these last centuries wanted to give men the supreme test of love and topropose a way for them to always love to him more.

He opened the infinite treasures of his Heart to enrich all those that had paid him allhonor and possible love.

In order to show His heart, and to set afire the entire world of love, he selected a humbleNun of the Visitacin of Paray-le Monial, a French city. This privileged soul, was born onJuly 22, 1647 in Laut Lecourt towards Verosvies in Burgundy. After passing many tests, 1671 she entered the Monastery of the Visitacin and in 1672 she professed her religiouvows. Shortly after her religious profession, Jesus showed many wonders to her and mapromises so extraordinary that no one would have believed unless they had been confirmby an unquestionable and concrete fact.

There were three apparitions by which Our Lord wanted to console his chosen one.

The first one happened on December 27, 1673. In this apparition, the young virgin wby Jesus Christ consecrated as his apostle; called her to spread and to propagate thecult to its adorable Heart; to show men its will; and to make them know what the SacHeart of Jesus promises to those who make known and propagate his cult.

The second happened in the octave of Corpus Christi in 1674. In this apparition, Jesusshowed the unexplainable wonders of his love and the excess that His Heart had takentowards men, from whom He did not receive more than abandonment and insults. Later hadded: "The abandonment in which they leave me is to me much more painful than whensuffered in my passion, so much so that if men would exchange my love, I would considethat I did not do enough and if at all possible would like to have done more; but men have

only indifference and repulse to all my requests. You at least console me, by giving mewhatever you can for their ingratitude.

The third apparition happened June 16, 1675, also in the octave of Corpus Christi.Appearing to her shining like the other times, and showing his Heart to her,complained of the continuous insults and sacrileges that He receives in theSacrament of love; and he added with more pain, than he received them fromconsecrated hearts to Him.

The mission to her was to make known and love his adorable Heart and to establish


32/60

in the Church a special feast of reparation. "I request to you: that the first Fridayafter the octave of Corpus Christi, a specific feast be dedicated to honor tomy Heart, receiving Holy Communion to soothe and repair all the indignitiesthat it receives in the Holy Altar. And my promise to you is that my Heart willdilate to scatter with abundance the wealth of its Love on all those that willreceive this honor and will endeavor others to do the same".

In this third revelation everything about the devotion to the Sacred Heart isencompassed; that is its principle, that is nothing other than love; its goal, that is tooffer God a repair cult, of consolation; its character, that is being a public cult, afterto having been for a long time, an intimate devotion; and finally its effects, thatconsist of a new effusion of divine love on the Church and particularly on thosepious souls that will promoters and apostles of this devotion and apostles, sinceJesus said to the Saint: "Announce and let the entire know that I will not putlimits to my benefits when these are requested through my Heart".

The promises given by the Sacred Heart of Jesus in these appearances to theSaint are the following ones:

1. To the souls consecrated to my Heart, I will give them all the necessarygraces.

2. Peace will come to their families.

3. I will console them in all its afflictions.

4. I will be its shelter and safe refuge during the life, and mainly at the hour ofdeath.

5. The enterprises will receive abundant blessings.

6. Sinners will find in my Heart the source and an ocean of mercy.

7. The lukewarm souls will become fervent souls.

8. The fervent souls will rise quickly to great perfection.

9. I will bless the homes where the image of my Sacred Heart is exposed and ishonored.

10. I will give priests the grace to move the most hardened hearts.

11. Those who propagate this devotion will have their names written in myHeart and they will never be erased.

These promises express, better than any other, that the treasures of his Heartbe known and the blessings he bestows to those that work for his glory.

St. Margarita Maria wrote: "If it were understood how much Jesus Christ wishes thatthis devotion propagates, all the Christians, even the least pious ones, would practiceit. Since immense they are the treasures that the Sacred Heart spills on which theytake care in making know this devotion. I do not know an exercise more apt devotionto shortly elevate time to a soul to the highest perfection than the cult of the Sacred

Heart. I do not know exercise more apt than this devotion to elevate a soul in a short


33/60

time to the highest perfection than the cult of the Sacred Heart.

It would be sweet to die after having practiced a tender and constant devotionto the Sacred Heart.

General conditions to participate in all these true promises is the one of beingdevoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, that is to love to him, to honor him and

to do whatever were possible, to glorify to him, to praise to him, still havingexposed its image.

The six first promises are effective to attract the love of Jesus and to convey thegraces particularly about this life. With these promises Jesus Christ it decides hisblessings to the families where it will be honored to his Adorable Heart withspecial prayers or where it will be had exposed his image.

With these promises Jesus Christ it conveys his blessings to the families who willhonor his Loving Heart with special prayers where his image is exposed.

The other five promises refer to superior graces, or spiritual graces.

In the promises the treasures of graces are assured to all devotees to theSacred Heart regardless of their condition; since Jesus wants to be loved by allthe men, no one is excluded from that ocean of Mercy.

Now, since the good Teacher has made to us so many precious promises, howcould we not approach them, and change the love that Jesus has to us. How canwe live up to his promises by promulgating this cult, exposing and venerating inour homes its image, in order to participate in his promises!!!

THE GREAT PROMISE

In addition to these eleven promises very loved the Christian, there is a plus, done inthe 1674. It is twelfth and is commonly called the "Great Promise" because it is asummary of all the others. And indeed of this one we must speak. While the piousNun experienced sweetest ecstasy, she was subdued and with her arms crossedacross her chest, her face kindled by an interior flame, a heavenly light only seen byher, cast on the altar and she saw the Loving Savior showing her his Heart. Thisdivine Heart was covered by flames all around it, with a crown of thorns, pierced andbleeding, Jesus unable to move, and, with the arms crossed on the chest, its faceradiated by an inner flame, a celestial light, Vista by her only, shaded the altar and itsaw the Adorable Salvador in the act show her Heart to him. It was this divine Heart

covered by flames, surrounded by a crown of thorns, pierced with blood drippingfrom it, with a cross showing.

Margarita thus spoke Jesus I promise to you in the excess of mercy of myHeart, that my all-powerful love will grant to those that on the nine first Fridaysof month agree followed... the grace of the final Penance; they will not die inmy misfortune, nor without receiving the Holy Sacraments, being to them myHeart safe refuge in that last hour.

MEANING OF THE GREAT PROMISE

As the Vermeersch says, the text of the "Great Promise" had several explanations, but not all in

its right sense. In effect, some approve only the practice recommended

and annul the promise.

Others, watching the immensity of the benefit, feel the necessity to attenuate it and that

they understand to say, that they will not die in his misfortune, those that did not fall inher; and that Holy Communion gives only one greater hope; but these completely clear

the specialty of the promise.

Others interpret it in the literal sense that it is as it follows: "Those that will on the first Friday of

the month, for nine consecutive months, receive Holy Communion, with the due dispositions,

will surely obtain the grace of final perseverance. Therefore, those that will make an effort in

satisfying the required conditions are certain of their eternal salvation.

Now this statement must be preferred to any other, because this one single one demonstrates

the infinite value of the Great Promise as it has in the text of the Saint.

In the same way it is explained why Our Lord speaks of the Great Promise like an

excess of its mercy and a triumph of its omnipotent love.

Without the grace of God, we cannot persevere in justice; and although God grants all graces

enough to be saved, it does not mean that He cannot grant the more effective graces, and to do

this by virtue of a promise.

Like the promise of Jesus Christ to lead the Church to the final triumph, it assures such thing

to us, therefore the Great Promise can guarantee the good death. Since the grace can prevail

over the weakness and the human obstinacy, thus it can avoid the future presumption and the

hardening in the sin. Regarding Milani it is hard to explain how this so extraordinary promise,

has been hidden until 1869, when Fr. Franuori began to spread it. Perhaps one was afraid notto be able to maintain it theologically or with fear that the faithful would abused it. There was no

reason to fear, since the faithful always obtain new fervor; while the wisest theologians

demonstrate it according to the principles of the catholic doctrine.

Our Lord after revealing to his servant everything about the cult of its Divine Heart wanted that

the different parts from this Devotion were developed according to the necessities. In effect the

revelations happened between year 1673 and 1691; and the celebration of the Sacred Heart was

granted to France in 1765, and only Po XI granted greater development liturgical. Thus the

practice of the first Friday of the month was introduced immediately after the first revelations;

while that of the nine first Fridays, "the Great Promise" began when finishing century XIX, during

which time incredulity reigned and the Papacy was under attack, thus it was necessary to givenew fervor to the Christian life and to inflame the hearts of pure love; instilling greater force and

confidence to them. Indeed at that time, Jesus Christ reminded the world of his Great Promise.

After the revelations to Sta. Margarita Maria Alacoque, in the heart of generous pious people and,

rekindled like a love fire, that, with all the energy of their souls and defying ridicule, the insults

and the persecutions of the world, of this enemy of God and the Saints, began to preach the love of

Jesus, the cult due to their Sacred Heart, and with words full of divine love they stigmatized the

human ingratitude.

Its voice was heard, and the Heart of Jesus saw an increase every year more, faithful and

generous correspondence in always greater number of hearts; and now it is the object ofdesires, the aspirations, and the love of all good Christian.


35/60

BASIS OF THE GREAT PROMISE

However, one is not due to think that the devotion to the Sacred Heart leans exclusively in the

revelations to Santa Margarita Alacoque. It already existed in the Church; it was the cult of Jesus

Christ, Man-God. It is based on still more firm and solid bases, that is on the same infallibility of

the Church, that is proposed to us. The particular revelations that God makes to the Saints,

cannot routinely be admitted prudently but only after the judgment of the Church. But, when she

has passed judgment, nothing else must stop it to us; because the Church, on the one handteaches to us (and in this his judgment it is infallible), that nothing in it is against the catholic

doctrine; and by another one although it does not force to admit them to us, like divine things,

assures to us to be able to welcome prudently them; and this only after having examined

extensively, meticulously and rigorously, after to have looked for and to have found the most

authentic and safe tests.

This infallible Teacher really settled down a rigorous process also for the devotion to the Sacred

Heart, and after recognizing the revelations as authentic she used them to provoke greater

devotion towards the Sacred Heart, and to stress with greater effectiveness to the one than already

new form existed of the Man-God.

Thus with its authority the church confirmed it solemnly assuring at the same time the stability

and excellence to us of this devotion.

The doubtful form in that it was expressed by the saint cannot put in doubt the promise,

because she does not declare more than its perfect obedience to her mother superior who

imposed her not to speak of its revelations in doubtful form.

The canonization of a person proves the integrity of the person and the approval judgment

testifies that in her writings there was nothing in opposition to the faith, to the moral and the

mercy. The Great Promise was examined by extreme theologians and was accepted, so much so

Pope Benedicto XV on May 13, 1920 wanted to insert it in the Bula of canonization of the saint.

And this insertion, is certainly the most beautiful proof of the authenticity of the Great Promise.

PROMISES OF THE SACRED HEART

Our Lord promises to all those that will receive Holy Communion on the first Friday of the month,

for nine consecutive months in state of grace promises:

1) The grace of not dying in mortal sin, that is to die in a state of grace state and therefore besaved.

2) The grace of the final perseverance, which is to erase with the penance the sins, and to

complement this with: "they will not die in my misfortune".

3) They will not die without receiving the Sacraments, this must be understood that they will not diewithout the Sacraments, if they will have of them absolute necessity; therefore if they were in state of mortal

sin, it assures that it provides means to them to make a good confession; and in case of sudden death, when

it is necessary, it will know at least to induce them to an act of perfect contrition to give back the friendship

to him of God.

4) Of being its refuge in the last moments of the life. In order that the men did not have


36/60

to fear for the immensity of the favor, and they did not say that a so small cause cannot produce a so

extraordinary effect, Jesus Christ said that he induced to this promise by the infinite mercy and

omnipotent love that takes to the men! Therefore one interposes the excess of the mercy and the love of

Jesus Christ, and this must eliminate all fear.

Often the men promise to people and friends, more than what they can provide to them; not Jesus

Christ; He love the souls infinitely and He can provide whatever they desire.

He wants to give them the grace of a good death, he promises it with his kindness and with his

omnipotence he grants it. Who then, understands the value

of a Communion, and knows that nine Communions are nine intimate unions of the soul with God, and

knows that a Communion reaches to sanctify a soul, it will not marvel itself that Jesus, requesting nine,

makes so great promise.

Whoever does what Jesus Christ commands, can be sure to be saved.

REQUIREMENTS

To obtain the Great Promise, it is required that:

1) Receive nine Holy Communions for that is safe to be in grace state, is not necessarynine Confessions, but only nine Communions done well. Those that do not reach the nine

will not reach the goal.

2) Communions must be on the first Fridays of the month. It is not possible to be differed foranother day of the week, i.e. Sunday, or in another Friday that is not the first Friday of the

month. No condition can give to us of this. Not the forgetfulness, it impossibility to confess; not

due to disease or another cause. Not even the Confessor can change the day or allow its

interruption, because the Church has not granted this faculty to anybody.

3) Must be for nine months consecutive, and who left it by a single month, it would notvalid; and if it had left it still involuntarily it would have to begin again.

Although authoritarian theologians say that being really serious cause, the interruption can be

considered as if it had not happened, we say that who truly loves the Heart of Jesus and wants to

make sure his eternal luck, fulfills generously what the Divine Teacher requests, without looking

for excuses.

4) With the due dispositions. Here the Catechism says to us that to make a good Communionthree things are necessary: 1, to be in grace of God; 2, to fast before receiving Holy

Communion; 3, to know what one is going to receive and to approach to agree with devotion,and adds that: who receives a Sacrament of the alive ones knowing of not being in grace of God,

she commits the very serious sin of sacrilege, because she receives something sacred unduly. A

sacrilegious Communion despises rather than honors the Heart of Jesus Christ; and it does not

obtain the aim with complete certainty. Even when there is no extraordinary fervor, the

Communions honor the Divine Heart, thus it must be received in a state of grace.

Another reason is the intention to repair the continuous insults that the Blessed


37/60

Sacrament receives and to obtain the fruit of the Great Promise.

FACILITIES

The intention necessary to obtain the aim of the Great Promise reaches to formulate it once in the

beginning after the nine Communions, provided it follows with the same intention until the end.

It is then, a good for renewing the intention every time. The practice of the nine first Fridays, canbegin any month.

For students the month of April would be advisable, to finish with December; while for the others another

month can agree, according to the people and uses that are had. After the Priests and the people who agree

daily, it reaches to put repairing the intention to also do they them to nine Communions to this end.

For the Priest it is not necessary to apply the Mass in honor to the Sacred Heart; it can apply it for whoever

he wishes, provided he receives Holy Communion to make sure of the Great Promise, to honor and to

repair to the Divine Heart by the

continuous solitude in which she is left.

Also the faithful can offer the Holy Communion for whoever they wish, provided they also have that

intention.

With these Communions the indulgences can be still applied that gain for the souls of the Purgatory,

especially the plenary one granted to that in the first Friday of the month meditates briefly before and after the

Communion, in the infinite kindness of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and requests according to the intentions of

the Extreme Pontiff (S. C. of the Indulgences, 7 of September of 1897).

Once this pious practice is completed, it is excellent thing to repeat it for all the life. After this it

reaches to put the intention, for always, returning once to begin since it has been finished.

THE DAILY CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART

(Act of Consecration which Santa Margarita Maria did to the Divine Heart of Jesus)

I, N. N., I dedicate myself and I consecrate to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ; and my

being and my life to him, my actions, pains and sufferings, so as not to use any part of my being

to serve him, to honor to him, to love him and to glorify him. This is my irrevocable will: to belong

to Him entirely and to do everything for my love to Him, giving up any and all things in my being

that can displease Him.

I thus receive you, then, divine Heart, like the only object of my love, the protector of my life, security

of my salvation, remedy of my fragility and my inconsistency, answer to all the needs in my life, and

my safe asylum at the hour of death. Thus, be my shield and my justification before God Father,

and deflect from me the rays of His right indignation. Oh most loving heart, in you I place all my

trust, because, even fearing everything due to my weaknesses, I expect everything from your

kindness. It consumes, then, in me all whatever can disgust or resist. Imprint your love so deeply in

my heart, that I may never forget it, nor can I be apart from you. I request vehemently for the sake

of your kindness that my name be written in you. I want all my happiness and all my glory living

and dying carrying the chains of your slavery. So be it.

TRUST NOVENA TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Trust is an act by which we hope to obtain from God our salvation and the necessarymeans for it. It is a virtue that locks up faith, hope and charity. The foundation of theconfidence is in that God is our Father, who takes care of more of us than the crows andthe lilies (Lc. 12, 24-27).

Nobody enjoys more the kindness of the Heart of Jesus than the one with the greatesttrust in Him. The worse and greatest evil that the demon causes is not to trust. Whatpleases him the most is the trust confidence in Him" (Santa Margarita).

We need more trust, and the best way to attain it is to request it from God.

We can request the trust and all the graces and goods that we need with "theTrust Novena.

Let us go with confidence to the throne of grace. (Hb.4, 16)

How to pray the Trust Novena:

Oh Jesus, to your Heart I trust (this soul, this pain, this business), look at it, andlet your Heart tell You what to do; it lets build to your Heart.

Oh Jesus, I have you, I entrust myself to You, I give myself You, I am safe of

You. Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust You (nine times). Oh Sweet Jesus, that have said: "If youwant to please to me, Trusts Me; if you want to please me more, Trust Me more; if youwant to please me even more, Trust Me immensely; the trusting souls are the grantees ofmy graces.". I trust You immensely. In You, Lord, I hope; I am not eternally confused.

ACT OF TRUST OF BLESSED CLAUDIO DE LA COLOMBIRE

Oh my God, I am so convinced that you watch over all our needs, and we will not lackanything that I have decided from now on and having given you all my doubts andinsecurities, I will live without care, trust in You for everything. I will sleep and rest inpeace, since You, only You, have assured me of my hope.

Men can strip me of the goods and reputation; diseases can weaken me to serve you;I myself I can lose your grace by sin; but I will not lose my hope; I will conserve it untilthe last moment of my life and all the efforts of the demons of hell to take it from mewill be in vain. I will sleep and rest peacefully.

That others wait for their happiness from their wealth or talents; that they lean on the

innocence of their lives, or on the rigor of their penance, or on the number of their gooddeeds, or on the fervor of their prayers. As for me, Lord, all my confidence is my sameconfidence. Because You Lord, only You, have assured my hope.

No one has been fooled by this trust. No one has been frustrated that has trusted inthe Lord. Therefore, I am sure that I will be eternally happy, because from you is fromwhom I will receive it. I will wait for you because you my God will be the source, and Iwill never be confused.

I know well, and too well, that I am fragile and unstable; I know how much temptationsagainst the firmest virtue can do; I have seen stars fall from the sky as well as thecolumns of the firmament; but nothing can scare me. While my hope is firm, I will besafe from all calamities; and I am safe to always wait for, because I wait for thisinvariable hope.

In short, I am sure that I cannot wait for with excess of you and that I will obtain everythingwhat it will have hoped to obtain from you. Thus, I hope that you will protect me in thefastest and slippery slopes, that you will fortify to me against the most violent assaults andthan you will make my weaknesses prevail over my more formidable enemies. I hope thatyou will always love me and that I will love you without

interruption; and to arrive as far as possible with all my hope, I will wait forYou, My Creator, now and for all eternity. So be it.
